Product OverviewFor those Acoustic guitar players that want to take charge of their sound, the Platinum Pro has a lot to offer...

I've mentioned before in our Blog, the importance of taking charge of your own sound. If you're playing anywhere that there's a PA and a soundman, you owe it to yourself to take charge, Why? Because unless you're topping the bill and you have the luxury of a long sound check to get your sound just right, then you're the mercy of a sound man who just 'Doesn't have time…" for your instructions about needing a little more 'air' or 'fattening out the middle'. It doesn't matter if you're in the local pub, or playing festivals or whatever, with your own Pre-amp and EQ you can get your sound right in the luxury of your own space and time…The Fishman Platinum Pro has a selection of simple controls to get you a natural acoustic sound without any feedback.

It features a 5-Band Equaliser with sweepable mids and a notch filter to allow you to shape the tone of your guitar, and the classic Fishman compressor to smooth out the peaks.It features a footswitch boost to just kick it up a notch or two when it comes to taking a solo, it has an effects loop and an on-board Tuner.It has a balanced XLR out with a pre/post EQ setting plus a ground-lift switch.

If you play an Acoustic Guitar live, you owe it to yourself to check this pre-amp out.

Completely redesigned from the ground up, the all-analog Platinum Pro EQ universal instrument preamp delivers incredibly accurate sonic detail for any acoustic instrument. A discrete, high-headroom Class-A preamp uses precision, high-speed circuitry for the highest fidelity and low distortion. Classic Fishman tone centers with sweepable mid is combined with a switchable guitar/bass EQ mode, making it more musical for bass instruments and more universal for recording and performing musicians.

The new Platinum Pro EQ integrates critical performance features like adjustable volume boost and a balanced XLR D.I. output housed in a beautiful, road-ready design.

It does what it saysI bought this to overcome some noisy ground problems on an acoustic guitar and discovered a very useful piece of kit. The compressor evens out the signal for both banjo, guitar and ukulele whilst the EQ allows adjustment to enhance any one of those three instruments. The tuner is easy to use and works well even on the banjo and doubles as a mute allowing me to easily switch instruments. Most of all, I've rid myself of the ground problem and still have an amp output in addition to the XLR D.I. Furthermore, it is all housed in a very elegant aluminium case. I won't play live without it!
